that's brutal haha. we had this(crossing 400) a couple months ago.
Imagine being old and/or with respiratory problems in this pollution. but it helps "our economy"!
Yeah. I basically breath industrial fumes here all the time when I go out. Long Live Air Purifiers. Can't wait to move out from this Lung Cancer Tomb.
How are people living like that daily? How do they all swim in that crazy polluted river? How are billions of them over there not getting crazy amounts of cancer?
Love the app... I have 185 today. Who can score higher today? Hah 🫠
what app is this?
edit: found it thank you https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather
And I'm sitting here with
half that and having issuesless than a third of thatWhere is this from? I mean the place
on that topic - where does the O³ come from?
a fellow breezy weather user!
you can tap on it to read more about it.
I also use this app! It's great, isn't it?? ^_^
Is that screenshot from the main app or a widget? Because my app looks bright even in dark mode.
Turn off the "follow day/night" setting and it will be dark mode in the day as well
I think the O3 ozone is a byproduct of combustion at high temperatures and not ideal combustion ratios. But I don't know a whole lot about it.
Ozone if formed usually when UV rays hit Oxygen(O2), and if forms protective ozone layer high up in atmosphere. But ground level ozone like this are formed from other pollutants in the presence of sunlight. That is factory and vehicle's pollutants react on sunlight and creates ozone which is harmful
Ah apparently, it is more common to occur naturally in the countyside because the NOx from fossil fuels will react with the ozon to create NO² and O².

thanks for the link!
Right before last summer I bought my good friend an air purifier for his birthday. My other friends made some light ribbing at my expense for being such a boring gift. The wild fires in Canada made the Philadelphia horizon hellish for about a week.
My good friend bought two more purifiers after that.
Mine is pretty low, surprising as I live in a big city.
The biggest nearby city is Seattle, and it's pretty good there
Git gud.
how much time does it take to acquire Chilean citizenship?
5 years to settle, however, good news for you, ANY oceanside city have clean air, closer you to ocean, cleaner air will be
Just here to let you all know that mine is currently 1. Living in the middle of nowhere has its benefits, at times
that one is also probably a round-off error.
Oxygen masks are going to be a great business in the near future, maybe it would be a good idea to invest in stocks 🤔
follow what rich people are buying and you'll never be disappointed.

Edit: It's "Bad", but about what I expected with the Autobahn nearby
very cute. this winter in Sarajevo (my city) the AQI was about ~500. we barely breathe down here. the worst part is that Sarajevo is surrounded by several mountains and lacks wind during the winter.
Suprisingly bad
